American Red Cross reviews

1. The American Red Cross in particular has become too large. This results in a perception from the national organization that employees are expendable and easily replaced. The evidence for this comes from local chapters, where employees tend to "disappear" unexpectedly and are quickly replaced. 2. The American Red Cross has begun following the corporate model. This results in: a. A narrow focus on its mission, to the exclusion of any consideration for other organizations or individuals, even if it were possible for the American Red Cross to easily make changes. This includes environmental concerns such as recycling. b. The American Red Cross is preoccupied with a fear of being sued. As such, employees are not allowed to give references to former employees seeking jobs. An employee who is a perceived liability is summarily dismissed without attempts to assure the employee is actually a liability. The American Red Cross' lawyers appear to be ignorant or uncaring of laws regarding "perceived disability."

it is the most thankless job out there, management does not care about you at all. When you pick up an extra day or go the extra mile you may get a thank you.
